Inventor 2017 - 3D PDF Export

Hey,

 

I have been amending and updating the 3D part and Assembly template using Acrobat DC, and so far ive been able to name and input my own custom properties, but what is the formula i use so i get the File Name to appear on the document once its saved? I have tried ' FileName' 'File Name' & 'File_Name' but it does not work! any ideas? 

 

I simply want the PDF name once i export it to appear at the top of the PDF

not to be blunt if you guys don't know the answer, can you not spam this post with irrelevant posts? I can add custom properties to for form fine, its simply just the file name. 

 

I find custom properties work better with no spaces and matching capitals where required.

I think we might need to get Johnson by the ankles and shake those pockets out though still Smiley Very Happy

 

I only found "reference" to that in the anark core document but I certainly didn't understand it when I ran across it..

 

 

Output Specific Attributes of the Top Level Component
SPECIFIC ATTRIBUTES name | value
{{{ item }}} | {{{ topComponent[item] }}} ITEMS="{{{ ['Name', 'Source Import', 'Use Count'] }}}"

 

 

 

 

This one gets you some neat information too.. 

 

List All Attributes of the Top Level Component
TOP COMPONENT ATTRIBUTE LIST name | value
{{{ item }}} | {{{ topComponent[item] }}} ITEMS="{{{ getComponentAttributeNames().filter(att => topComponent[att] != null) }}}"

@johnsonshiue

 

If I start a new thread, containing Code options, solutions etc for the 3d PDFs properties etc, can we maybe pin it to the top for a bit ? 

 

We can keep adding to it ... just coding related ...
